Director Robert Rodriguez has kept a steady stream of buzz going this week with ongoing news of his upcoming projects. And while we've been getting hints of the filmmaker's Sin City 2 and Machete Kills, Rodriguez has also been talking up yet a third movie in development at Troublemaker Studios: Fire and Ice.

"That's in the works to go right into after Sin City, Frank Frazetta's Fire and Ice," Rodriguez told The Hollywood Reporter. "We're almost done with the script, we've got it pretty much 70 percent there -- I'm really excited about that one... I think the timing is going to work out just right and we'll have a finished script in the next month or so."

Based on the iconic work of artist Frazetta, Fire and Ice is said to be an animated remake of the original 1983 film. Said Rodriguez, "The whole idea is to make it using the technology I used for Sin City, because I want it to be as if you stepped into one of his paintings."

Current plans are to head into development as soon as the director wraps on Sin City: A Dame To Kill For.
